Went to my range and took the time to fine tune the NW trade gun.
Starting out everything was low but grouping but not what I wanted.......so I started changing things up.
Went to a heavier patch, changed my sight picture a bit and bingo!
These were my last 3 shots, 30 yards benched after figuring things out.
4 1/2 inch diameter black spot.
.012 patch, 70gr 2F spit lube and .595 ball.

Started shaping the stock and replaced the small coil spring that was under the sear. It originally had a leaf spring. As thick as the lock plate is I milled a pocket for a larger coil spring, which is a lot better with a little more pressure. Still have to make some wedges to adjust the spring tension on both hammers. I'm also going to case harden the end of the sear.
